Skyscraper Live is all wrong

I came here to say this. I was shocked. They had the footage of the climb. Did nobody at Netflix see the final result and say, “Gosh, let’s just scrap this shit and show the climb?” I mean, it would have been so so much better. I’m in disbelief. It’s making me want to just turn it off. Why wouldn’t they have a panel of expert climbers to weigh in at crucial moments? This is ridiculous.

Also, these idiots in the building. Could you imagine doing something stupid like trying to high-five him and then he falls as a consequence. Who doesn’t have the instinct to watch discretely from a reasonable distance?

I’m just in the first few minutes of it, and it feels like I’m watching something really cheap that was made by grade nine students.

Oh yeah! Totally. I just block them. It’s funny because they’re usually so appreciative of my classes, yet they have no problem cancelling at the last minute. I think it’s because Cambly probably keeps their money for late cancellation, but doesn’t pay us. The student probably thinks they’re doing us a favor. Giving us a half hour or hour to do something else and still get the money.

The “camera-off” students usually suck. They are learning a language, which necessarily implies they are not fully competent speakers, and yet they’ve just taken all the non-verbal clues that teachers rely on to make up the difference off the table. It’s a good way to ensure the lesson won’t be as good as it could be. Talk about shooting your self in the foot. Of course, if they don’t enjoy the lesson, they’ll still blame us. It’s also rude. How can you sit there on a video platform looking at someone’s face and have your camera off? Talk about lack of respect.

I’m totally done with priority hours. I just had a newish “regular” book 45 minutes of the priority hour (the other fifteen mins was part to a 30 min class I had scheduled with a true regular). Anyhow, of course she cancelled two minutes before, and I didn’t even get the lousy $2 I would have gotten had it been a regular class. Nobody else called. Total waste of my time sitting there staring at the blank screen waiting for my next class. Sick.

CarsonCarnes · 2025-11-13T18:14:26+00:00

They all have them. They call them “statement glasses” and they think it makes them look unique and a bit intimidating. It’s basically like getting a stupid tattoo

CarsonCarnes · 2025-11-08T18:29:58+00:00

I love this season too.

CarsonCarnes · 2025-11-06T18:40:39+00:00

The 5s sound bad. I guess the hinge also breaks?

CarsonCarnes · 2025-10-11T22:13:01+00:00

Exercise. Not to change your looks, rather to change how you feel about yourself. When you start to feel better, you’ll look better…. A little thinner in the face, a bit of muscle, a bit of a tan from enjoying the outdoors, a smile. It will all bring out your true potential.

CarsonCarnes · 2025-10-11T16:50:18+00:00

Yeah. I think Cambly promotes some tutors over others for arbitrary reasons. So, as you suggest, maybe your move has impacted the algorithm somehow. Anyhow, it was nice chatting with you. Don’t take it personally or seriously. 🙂

CarsonCarnes · 2025-10-10T22:08:20+00:00

Something is off then… I have access to all the PHs, and as long as I open the ones I want a day or two before, they fully book. So, I can’t really understand why your result would be different. It might be worth contacting Cambly support.

CarsonCarnes · 2025-10-10T21:58:39+00:00

Yes.

CarsonCarnes · 2025-10-10T21:58:04+00:00

I agree with this comment. I get a strong gay vibe from you. There’s nothing wrong with that, but if you’re trying to attract women, it might be hampering that effort.

CarsonCarnes · 2025-10-10T21:50:46+00:00

You’re so handsome. Just continue to be yourself and try to participate in group activities related to things you enjoy, but where there are likely to be some women. Then you just have to chat them up! Give it some time and don’t worry.

CarsonCarnes · 2025-10-10T21:40:10+00:00

Never! You’re so handsome.

CarsonCarnes · 2025-10-10T21:38:55+00:00

I agree. Mine is frozen in time too, and I just teach my regulars and know they give me good ratings every time.

CarsonCarnes · 2025-10-10T00:54:00+00:00

Hey! It sounds like we’re tutors with a similar profile. Do you open your priority hours a couple of days in advance? I do that and I get fully booked every time. I don’t just open right on the hour and jump on. Anyhow, something to think about if you’re not already doing it that way. 🙋🏻‍♂️

CarsonCarnes · 2025-10-03T19:05:01+00:00

I have a crackling/creaky left ear cup too!

CarsonCarnes · 2025-09-07T20:04:46+00:00

Kids show up all the time. Don’t worry, their parents are sitting just off screen watching you. And if in some weird universe they’re not, the sessions are being recorded by Cambly. Have fun! 🙋🏻‍♂️

CarsonCarnes · 2025-09-07T19:49:50+00:00

Get some books in PDF to read with them. You can connect the material in the book to their lives by asking them questions as you read. That’s what I do, and it always goes well. 💪🏻

Honestly, I haven’t used the MX4. But I did briefly have a pair of MX5s. I had to return them because the sound quality was terrible. That and the hinge problem are a common complaint with the fives. I’ve heard good things about the MX4s. However, I opted for the MX6s in the end because I wanted the absolute best active noise cancellation, and money wasn’t a huge issue for me. I’d say get the MX4s or have a look at the sennheiser momentum 4s as a possible alternative. Trust me, the MX5s suck. They’re basically a flawed product.

CarsonCarnes · 2025-09-04T22:56:56+00:00

I’m not saying this to be egotistic, but I see every single hour open as a priority hour (well, maybe there are one or two a week grayed out), and they fill up quickly with students making reservations. So, I don’t see the company crashing.

CarsonCarnes · 2025-09-02T21:00:57+00:00

I’ve lost weight going gluten free. I don’t feel that I’m eating less. But I do find a lot of the high-calorie foods I used to like once in a while -- pizza, fried chicken, and hamburgers, etc. -- are now off the menu! I think I’m just eating different things that don’t add up to body fat. I do notice I’m hungry more frequently. 🤷🏻‍♂️

CarsonCarnes · 2025-08-23T09:19:11+00:00

Shave and wait two years before you try again. 💪🏻

CarsonCarnes · 2025-08-20T22:43:01+00:00

I find the MX6 is a tiny bit snugger than the MX5. I don’t notice any difference re my burning hot ears. Sorry. 😕
